Finally the Sketcher shortcuts have been overhauled, it seems: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/comm ... 6102ffe105
Any strategy how to handle this in the Wiki? Could we chip on this incrementally or does someone plan to do a mass change? (Ether way, it will cause grief/irritation for 0.19 users... I personally could imagine to give both new/old shortcuts with {{Version}} labels.)

Re: New Sketcher shortcuts
Perhaps temporarily it could be done in a table on the Wiki page? That way you can later delete the older versions (or if App Versioning is somehow implemented in the Wiki one day, that table can be sliced or converted to text and routed to the respective pages).

Re: New Sketcher shortcuts
There was a discussion about differences between versions in the wiki. I think the result was something like we don't have enough people to maintain the wiki for more than the current development version and FreeCAD ships with an offline manual which always works for your version.

Also we should not forget that each FreeCAD version comes with its own offline help files which are based on the wiki. So you can already f.e. access the 0.17 version of the wiki, if you wish to do so.

I see very few questions in the forum, where people ask for things in 0.18 which are differently documented, because the respect already something in 0.19.
So my vote is to only document the current version, preferably with notes from which version on certain parts are valid. That enables us to write the documentation of new stuff while is still fresh.

Re: New Sketcher shortcuts
As Joe remarked in another topic, the Sketcher Workbench is one of the core workbenches of FreeCAD. Its documentation however has a mixed quality (The same, BTW, applies to the other core workbenches Part and PartDesign). I would love to see somebody having a serious go at remedying that, but do realize that this is a lot of work.
Fixing the shortcuts can wait IMO. I would not create a table, it would indeed just be temporary, and the user can get the same information by just looking at the menus.
